This is a book by one of America's foremost military and political thinkers that shows how, if left unchecked, America's current political culture and historical capacity for crusade, motivated and corrupted by ideology, will prove far more destructive to the nation than all of Osama's devilish intentions. It talks about: how contemporary American political culture and crusade - propelled, distorted and corrupted by ideology - are destroying America's relevance and influence abroad and its democratic values at home; how these forces evolved and have been transformed, fragmented, and perverted such that our culture has been broken by old political mindsets and the harsh partisanship of contemporary politics; and how crusade has taken on religious and ideological overtones and even excesses that prevent rational policy based on interests not ideology from taking hold and thus challenge the continuation of America's unique position of power and influence in the world.
